Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zahra!
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $330, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this, Zahra. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Üsküdar.
praying for you, Zahra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
